Yesterday I have begun to deflash a medium walking robot. And I thougt about a list, where to field all these beautiful Types.

Its made with the 3.19 AMTL list


Reaver 575
Volcanno Cannon 50
Laser Blaster 50
Turbolaser 25
Legat 50
Carapace ML 50
Sacred Icon 50 850


Reaver 575
Plasma Cannon 25
Gatling Blaster 25
Apo RL 25
Veteran Princeps 25 675

Reaver 575
Apo RL 25
Turbolaser 25
Turbolaser 25
Veteran Princeps 25 675

Warhound Pack 500

Thunderbolt 150
Thunderbolt 150

3000

In my opinion it looks not so bad. One tank-killer, two jack of all spades, additionally a pack of warhounds for infantry-killing. Flyer support via four Thunderbolts. C & C are welcome.

Hi Koshi,
What armies do you normally play against?
I ask because anyone with teleporting Terminators (Chaos or Space Marine) could really mess up your Reavers.
Basically, anyone that can get into base contact with your Titans, that has good attacks, should nullify them with reasonable ease.

I like to put 1 Titan Close Combat weapon on as many battle titans as possible to act as a deterrent. Also consider a Sentinel scout screen to keep teleporting units away from the Reavers.

Hope that helps mate.

What's the loadout on the Warhounds?

It looks fine, no obvious weak spots apart from the very low activation count. You might consider finding points for a sentinel formation or two; They're cheap activations, and useful as anti-teleporter screens.

The sacred icon fits well on the command titan, thematically, but I don't think it'll see much use; Shooty titans don't, as a rule, see much close combat.

You could switch one of you all-round titans with a dedicated CC titan, like this:

Reaver 575
Titan CCW +25
Laser Burner +0
Melta Cannon +50
Veteran Princeps +25
Sacred Icon +50

This one wants to run up on the enemy table half and get stuck in; You'll want something to move forward anyway, to grab objectives, it might as well be something with some punch to it.

A budget version of the above could be

Reaver 575
Titan CCW +25
2x Laser Burner +0

Now it only does CC, but it does it very well. And you save over 100 points, enough for a recon platoon.

With the 3.19 list, Skitarii are bargain basement cheap; You could also do:

Reaver 575
Titan CCW +25
Laser Burner +0
Corvus Assault Pod +0

Skitarii 100

A strategy for this could be to march forward, dump the skitarii, and engage something the following turn with support from the skitarii. It's a good way to get a durable infantry formation safely to the opposite half of the table...

Hi

I have not played with v3.10 but from earlier playtest lists I would second the sentinels. With IG I aim for 9+ activations at 3,000 points. For AMTL I aimed for 8 activations. I would take 2 Reavers, 4 Warhounds and balance with Sentinels.

Your first Reaver costs as much as a stock Warlord- lot of points. The suggestions above should help you trim a few points- enough to get some Sentinels.

Good luck

James

Normaly against orks. Sometimes also against Eldar or IG Steel Legion.

Both standard - so Vulcan-Megabolter and Plasma Blastgun.

Based on your suggestions i've done a new list:

Reaver 575
Volcanno Cannon 50
Laser Blaster 50
Turbolaser 25
Legat 50
Carapace ML 50 800

Reaver 575
Plasma Cannon 25
Gatling Blaster 25
Apo RL 25
Carapace ML 50
Veteran Princeps 25 725

Reaver 575
Titan CCW 25
Laser Burner 0
Corvus assault Pod 0
Veteran Princeps 50 650

Skitarii 100

Warhound 275
Vulcan Megabolter 0
Plasma Blastgun 0
Veteran Princeps 50 325

Recon Platoon 100

Thunderbolt 150

Thunderbolt 150
3000
Now it's 8 Activations, but only one Warhound. One dedicatet CC-Reaver with Skitarii and a few Sentinels. Sacred Icon dropped and second Reaver got one Carapace Multilaser.
